The couple of times I've been I thought the crust was like cardboard, both in consistency and flavor. The rest of the slice is fine, but still not outstanding. My wife says I'm crazy: she agrees its far from the best in town, but options on Newbury Street are slim.

Upper Crust is ok in a pinch if you need lunchtime delivery, at least they have a good selection of toppings... but I much prefer the Neopolitan slice at Bostone (site of old Newbury Pizza). It's darn near perfect for my thin-crust, NYC-style tastes.

I didn't say they were trying to be NYC style. I don't mind Upper Crust, and I definitely prefer it to greasy, lower quality pan pizzas. rec'd Bostone rec for pierce, who was lamenting the lack of options on Newbury St.

I'm with you. Not only does Dining In charge the delivery fee, but I have also found them to inflate menu prices. I compared the DI book to several take out menus I had, and DI seemed to be considerably higher in some cases. The menus may have been dated I suppose...I did not investigate further.

My understanding is that DI gets only the fees, any increased menu prices are a premium the restaurant (not DI) is charging for delivery orders. I can't see a restauranteur giving a delivery vendor free reign with pricing. Result is the same to the consumer, wildly overpriced take out.

I find Upper Crust and Sweet Tomatoes to be very similar, I like a thin, crisp, well done crust but find that both places suffer from a lack of flavor, particularly in their sauces. I still long for the days when Emma and her husband were making pizza!

ebpizza, are you into thin pizza? I think people like what ever they grew up with. I'm from CT, its thin there(but not as thin as Upper Crust). I really don't like thicker greek pizza so I have to go for the opposite extreme and Upper Crust suits me just fine. I also really like their pepperoni. I do wish there tomato sauce was saucy-er and less chunky.

Now Upper Crust's whole wheat crust is another story. Never ever get it. It is so gross and dry and cardboard textured.

I didn't like upper crust. I thought it was trying to do something (NY style/Neopolitan) without really knowing how to do it. It's ok I guess, but certainly (costs) too much for (giving) too little. I'm going to do Bostones soon to see what's up there.
